About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Apiculture in Radovljica, near Lake Bled, turns to the painted fronts of old wooden beehives and the peasant artists of Upper Carniola who decorated them. It asks which of the boards are prayers and which are jokes, and follows hunters, tailors, gossips and tavern-goers through the village humour of the nineteenth century. Best heard standing close to the panels, where the rough brushwork shows.
